ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Administrator's node install ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
After installing Ami Pro on the network server, there are several methods of
setting up each individual user's workstation to run Ami Pro. You can use the
Administrator's Node Install to automate copying macros, documents, style
sheets, SmartIcons, or clip art to each user's node directory on the file
server. You can also instruct each user to run Node Install from their local
workstation and copy macros, documents, style sheets, SmartIcons, or clip art
from the network server.
Make sure users have Read-Write-Create-Delete-Attribute permissions to any
directories where shared documents are stored.
After you run Administrator's Node Install, you can instruct each user to run
Icon Install to create the Ami Pro icons on their desktop.
For additional information about installing Ami Pro on a network, refer to the
READNET.TXT file located on Install Disk 1.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Create a default path name template ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
You can create a default path name template to use when adding user names to
the Install List.
You can modify the template when you create the Install List in order to create

administrator.
If you specify UNC path names for System Administrator Paths, you can
delete Users Mapped Paths.
You can use the ? character to specify a wildcard for a portion of the path
name. When you create the Install List, you can specify the subdirectory to
use in place of the wildcard.
For example, you can specify a System Administrator Path of
f:\user\?\amipro. When you add George Bailey to the Install List, you can
specify gbailey as the replacement for ?. When you add Amanda Wingfield to
the Install List, you can specify awingfield as the replacement for ?.
2. Specify Users Mapped Paths as they appear on the user's workstation.
If you specify UNC path names for System Administrator Paths, you can
delete Users Mapped Paths.
You can use the ? character to specify a wildcard for a portion of the path

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13. Using Ami Pro on a network ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Once you install Ami Pro on the server and set up each user node, multiple
users can run Ami Pro from their workstations.
All users must have Read-Write-Create-Delete-Attribute permissions to
directories that contain documents they need to edit.
If the users on a network are sharing documents, Ami Pro provides file locking
to protect against the possibility of simultaneous data update attempts. When a
user opens a document, the original file changes to read only and can be
modified only by that user. When the original user closes the document, Ami Pro
changes the rights to read write, so another user may edit it.
Another user can open a read only file and save changes to it only if the
changes are saved to a different file name.
If Ami Pro is terminated abnormally, as in the case of a power failure, some
documents may be left in read only mode. You can change the files back to
read-write using the Ami Pro File Manager.
